2023 Taste of the World Gala June 7th

Join the Middlesex West Chamber of Commerce for this year's Annual Gala!

Our theme this year:

Celebrating Food From Around the World

Step into the beautiful atmosphere of the Sanctuary Maynard, our region's premier event space. Grab your passport and travel to each table experiencing culinary delights. Feeling parched from all of the delicious tastes, head on down to the Sanctuary Speakeasy to quench your thirst at one of the most beautiful bars in the area. Be sure to get your passport stamped at each table, take notes on who has your favorite tastes, and bring your completed passports to the registration table to enter to win $100 gift card. Then cast your vote for the best taste of the Gala, our generous vendors all have a chance to win a prize and bragging rights.

When you aren't savoring the amazing cuisine, check out the decor of each table, buy raffle tickets, or partake in our silent auction. A portion of the raffle proceeds will be going toward our College Sponsorship Fund. We will also be inducting our board for the next term and handing out awards. So much to celebrate!
